I received an offer from Goldman sachs as a VP (tech)
My contract says minimum working hours are 45hrs/week but average working hours may exceed 48hrs/week.
I have experience working long hours in investment banking but never seen that many hours literally written in the contract.
They didn't give any number for bonus which is normal from GS I believe.
I might even do it with the right numbers but I've been sent my contract already after waiting about 3months. Is it too late to still negotiate
Should I raise this with HR? #goldmansachs #investmentbanking #IBtech #finance

At the same time, I cant see how they would enforce this

Saying normal week is 48h doesn't fix it either.
